An interesting journey of an ingested needle: a case report and review of the literature on extra-abdominal migration of ingested foreign bodies Ozkan Z; Kement M; Kargi AB; Censur Z; Gezen FC; Vural S; Oncel MJ Cardiothorac Surg 2011[May]; 6 (ä): 77Swallowed foreign bodies encounter a major problem especially in children, but fortunately they mostly do not cause any related complication and are easily passed with the stool. In this paper, an interesting journey of a needle is presented. A 20-year old female admitted to our emergency service after she had swallowed a sewing machine needle, which is initially observed in the stomach in the plain abdominal radiography. During the follow-up period, the needle traveled through bowels, and surprisingly was observed in the left lung on 10th day of the follow-up. It was removed with a thoracotomy and pneumotomy under the fluoroscopic guidance. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the day 5. We also review the literature on interesting extra-abdominal migrations of swallowing foreign bodies.|*Eating[MESH]|*Lung[MESH]|*Needles[MESH]|*Stomach[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Foreign-Body Migration/*complications/diagnostic imaging/surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Injury/diagnostic imaging/*etiology/surgery[MESH]|Radiography, Abdominal[MESH]|Radiography, Thoracic[MESH]|Thoracotomy/*methods[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH]|Young Adult[MESH] |
